I have noticed that when replying to a local user, that occasionally the To
field contains both a name which I think was extracted from the original
message and one added from the alias file, e.g.

To: tom (Tom Smith) (Tom Smith)

anyone else see this?

Yup.  This happens here too.  I'd think a good fix would be elimination of
any existing address's comments if that address is an alias with a comment.
Not very easy...
